Not anymore. Even if you had appealed at the time, your plea bargain would have left very little for you to argue about.
You can still try to petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Here again, though, the plea bargain will be a serious obstacle. There are very few types of arguments that are even theoretically available after a guilty plea, and I have no idea whether the facts of your case would allow you to make any of those arguments.
